CGI version 4.13 from CPAN:CGI

Introduction

This contrib does not add any features to TWiki. Its purpose is to convert Perl's CGI module from being an external dependency to a component of TWiki.

Detailed Documentation

This is the stub module of CgiContrib. Its only purpose is to expose the version number of CGI under its expected package name, so that the TWiki dependency checking mechanism will find it.

Settings

Changed:
<
<
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = CGI version 4.03 from CPAN:CGI

>
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = CGI version 4.13 from CPAN:CGI
 

Installation Instructions

Changed:
<
<		This contrib is a fix to numerous problems with CGI.pm on platforms which do not, or no longer, ship this module together with the Perl core:
  • Perl version 5.22 does no longer contain the CGI modules
>
>		This contrib ships with TWiki (versions 6.0.2 or newer). You should only consider installing it yourself if 1) you experience problems with CGI in your installation, and 2) installing or upgrading this is recommended by the TWiki community as a fix for your problems.
Deleted:
<
<
  • Red Hat Linux and its derivatives has not shipped the CGI distribution with its Perl versions for years.
 
Deleted:
<
<		If you have problems installing TWiki on one of these platforms because of problems with CGI similar to TWiki:Support.SID-01980 or TWiki:Support.SID-02001, installing this contrib on top of TWiki should fix it.

 You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this contrib package. These instructions are for the administrator who installs the package on the server where TWiki is running.
Deleted:
<
<		IDEA! With the next TWiki release after 6.0.1, this contrib will be part of the TWiki core (see TWiki:Codev.AddCGIpmToTWikiCore) and doesn't need to be installed.
